The correct Answer is:
To find three rational numbers between \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{4}{7} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find a common denominator The denominators of the two fractions are 5 and 7. The least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 7 is 35. We will convert both fractions to have this common denominator. ### Step 2: Convert \( \frac{3}{5} \) to the common denominator To convert \( \frac{3}{5} \) to a denominator of 35, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 7: \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 7}{5 \times 7} = \frac{21}{35} \] ### Step 3: Convert \( \frac{4}{7} \) to the common denominator Next, we convert \( \frac{4}{7} \) to a denominator of 35 by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 5: \[ \frac{4}{7} = \frac{4 \times 5}{7 \times 5} = \frac{20}{35} \] ### Step 4: Identify the range Now we have: \[ \frac{21}{35} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{20}{35} \] However, we notice that \( \frac{21}{35} \) is greater than \( \frac{20}{35} \). We need to correct this. The correct order is: \[ \frac{20}{35} < \frac{21}{35} \] ### Step 5: Find three rational numbers between \( \frac{20}{35} \) and \( \frac{21}{35} \) To find three rational numbers between \( \frac{20}{35} \) and \( \frac{21}{35} \), we can take fractions with the same denominator, which is 35. We can choose numbers between 20 and 21. The three rational numbers can be: - \( \frac{201}{350} \) - \( \frac{202}{350} \) - \( \frac{203}{350} \) ### Final Answer Thus, three rational numbers between \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{4}{7} \) are: 1. \( \frac{201}{350} \) 2. \( \frac{202}{350} \) 3. \( \frac{203}{350} \) ---
